I'm no lawyer, but the way I read this law is that the analog signals will be gone for good. Older TV's will have to have a box to even work (and even some won't regardless). A timeline of the law reads like this:

February 17, 2009 Analog TV broadcasts from full-power TV stations in the US ends.

Does this not mean that a transformation is imminent?
